SCARY-LOOKING Aleksander Emelianenko fights former UFC top contender

When it comes to intimidating fighters in mixed martial arts, few come close to Aleksander Emelianenko, who is the younger brother of heavyweight GOAT, Fedor Emelianenko.

On appearance alone, he would inspire fear in most people. Emelianenko stands almost 6 and a half feet tall and weighs in at around 250lbs and, not only that, but he is covered in very intimidating and very ‘Russian’ looking tattoos.

One of these tattoos, located on his back, depicts a grim reaper holding a baby. Usually, these type of Russian tattoos have some sort of meaning or significance behind them, such as stars of your knees symbolizing you will not kneel, but probably only Emelianenko knows what that one means, and it can’t be good.

What also makes Emelianenko even more intimidating is not only that’s he’s a pretty high-level heavyweight MMA fighter, but also, he has a very troubled past and has spent some time behind bars for some pretty serious crimes which include sexual assault charges that you can find more about below.

In this recent MMA fight in the video below, we see the fourth fight since Emelianenko returned to competition after being released from prison last year and it’s against a former UFC top contender, Gabriel ‘Napao’ Gonzaga.

Aleksander looks to be in fantastic physical condition here as well and, at 36, he may have a few more good years of competition in him before father time steps in, as long as he can stay out of trouble.

Check out the brutal finish in the video below.

Firas Zahabi: “The way the market changed, the way that the personalities changed, we went back to our Tito Ortiz days, and even worse to greater degrees. Georges was such a breath of fresh air because he brought class to our sport. We were not embarrassed of our sport when he was there … I was happy to say I’m part of the sport. But nowadays, you have so many superstars who are getting in trouble with the law. The way they behave, it makes the sport look uncivilized. And it’s not the case – 99 percent of our athletes are good people. But it’s unfortunate when the megastars embarrass us all." h/t MMAjunkie • Watch
